To alb 'io/mn, it may concern:

Be it known that l, Drxsann Annen, a subjectoi' the Emperor oi' lapamresiding at than Francisco, in the county oi'y San Francisco and ot California, have invented new and useful improvements in ifi/oven Cloth, et which the following is a speciiication.

This invention relates to an improved we vc for cloth Vand resides in the provision ot' e cloth owing to which weave is especially adapted llor use in shoe insoles.

The primary object of this invention Yis to provide a cloth which will be comparatively soit and smoothoncne side although closely woven and of thick heavy texture, the weave throughout being the same and ot such character that binding or hemming the edges to prevent unraveling is unnecessary, thus in cutting the cloth the freshly cut edges will have no tendency to readily unrave and need not be selvaged by a particular weave different from the weave throughout the entire piece.

Another object is to provide cloth in which the weave includes relatively heavy threads and relatively light threads interwoven so that a neat compact pattern is pro vided and so that the cloth will be stiff and pervious to air but comparatively soft;

rlhe invention possesses other advantages and features, some of which, with the ioregoing will be set forth at length in the following description where l shall outline in full that form oi the invention which l have selected for illustration in the drawings accompanying and forming a part olf the present specification. In said drawings I have shownone form et the construction or' my invention but it is to he understood that l do not limit myself to such form, since the invention as expressed in the claims may be embodied in a plurality of forms.

Figure l is a fragmentary plan view of a piece of cloth woven in accordance with my invention in which the threads are closely magnified and broken away, to show the manner of weaving;

Fig.A 2 is a view similar to Fig. l of the reverse side of the cloth;

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view talren through the cloth;

Fig. 4 is a top plan view of an insole for shoes made from the cloth of this invention.

Referring to the drawings, the cloth ot' my invention comprises relatively large or heavy warp threads l, relatively light or.

smaller woot threads 2 and a plurality ot longitudinal or warp locking threads 3 which latter are smaller and finer than the woot threads EZ. ri`he warp threads l provide body for thecloth whereas the threads 3 are principally used to lock the woot and warp threads `so as to bind? them closely together whereby the cloth is closely woven and will not unravel at the edges.

The warp threads l extend parallel to one another and at right anglesto the woo]c threads 2. Looking at the weave from the upper side o'i the cloth the warp threadsv l extend in pairs irst over a group, for` example, six, of the woot threads and their: under a smaller group, for example, two, of the next adjacent woot threads this interweaving arrangement continuing throughout the length of the cloth.

To be more explicit, the pair of threads marked a, in Fig. l, being the outermost pair oi warp threads, extends over six woot threads and under two next adjacent woot threads and so on throughout-the length of the cloth, whereas the pair of warp threads designated b in Fig. l and which is next adjacent to the pair'a extends under the middle two woot1 threads of the six'passed over by the pair e and then over the six adjacent woot threads which latter six includes as the center ones thereoic the two woot threads passed under by said pair a. Thus the woot threads extend over the warp threads at staggered points. The locking threads 3 extending parallel with the warp threads l, pass iirst over and then under each succeeding woot thread andl pass between the threads of each pair of the woot threads which extend over the warp threads. These threads 3 extend upen both sides of each pair of warp threads and lie closely alongside said warp threads. Certain of the woot threads extend entirely across the cloth beneath the warp threads such woot threads being designated 3 and shown particularly in Fig. 2 ot the drawing. Thus when six threads are passed over by warp threads, four of said six are not interwoven between the warp threads but extend in pairs across the underside of said warp threads. The portions of the pairs of warp threads over which the woot threads extend are forced outwardly between the pair of woot threads Y 3 and lie in spaced paralled rovvs on the rel the other side.

Owing tothese characteristics I have found that the cloth is particularly adapted lfor slioe'insoles, accordingly I have illustrated a shoe insole 5 shown in F ig. 4 of the draW- ings. In using an insole made of cloth ot' my invention the smooth soft side is the upper side of the insole. The insole need not he stiiened, hemrnedor bound in any Way around the edgesinasmuch as the cloth Will not readily unravel. Because. of this, su'chan insole may be cutto suit the particular foot or shoe and this is an advantage not obtainablevwith insoles of the type now in general use. Due to the peculiar WeaveV of the cloth an insole made from said cloth will not pucker up into ridges or Wrinkle and shrink when Wet from perspiration.,

I claim i l. Woven cloth comprising Warp threads.

and Woof threads, said vvarp threads IIoeing arranged in groups, one group extending over a group oi' Woof threads and then under a smaller group of next adj aoent threads and the next adjacent groups of Warp threads extending under lcertain Woot threads of the larger group over Vwhich the first named pair of Warp threads extend, and Warp threads extending over every other one of said Woof threads on each side of each group of warp threads. Y

2. -Woven cloth comprising warp threads and Wootl threads, said Warp threads being arranged in groups, one group extending over a group or' Woof threads and then under a smallerr group of next adjacent threads and the next adjacent groups of Warp threads extending under certain Woof threads of the larger group over Which the first named pair or Warp threads extend, certain of said Woot threads extending for their entire length beneath the Warp threads and Warp threads extending parallel to and alongside of the groups of Warp threads over and under suc? cessive Woot" threads.
